RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense (movie ver.) [Official Music Video]

RADWIMPS’s hit song “Zenzenzense.” It was released as the theme song for the hugely popular anime film Your Name, which gained nationwide acclaim.

Among RADWIMPS’s tracks, this one has a fairly orthodox rock feel, and features an easy-to-sing vocal line that appears repeatedly throughout.

The vocal range is mid1 F# to mid2 F#, which is somewhat narrow for a male vocal song.

While the chorus has the drawback of having few break points, it doesn’t frequently require long sustained notes, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

It’s a popular song embraced by a wide range of generations, so you can expect it to really get the crowd going.

BUMP OF CHICKEN「Hello,world!」

This is the opening theme of Blood Blockade Battlefront Season 1.

BUMP’s light, fast-paced song and its lyrics perfectly match the image of Blood Blockade Battlefront.

If the karaoke shows footage from the series, it really gets me hyped, and if you can sing it well with BUMP’s music video playing, it becomes a pretty cool song to nail.

TV anime “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan” OP theme “Shika-iro Days” Special Anime MV

Released in July 2024 as the opening theme for the TV anime “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan,” this track seems poised to be a defining denpa song of the Reiwa era, woven from a barrage of catchy phrases and a lively ska rhythm.

The addictive tune by the Shika Club perfectly matches the distinctive vocals of the voice cast—led by Megumi Han—with a danceable sound.

Combined with the highly accurate recreation of the “Shikanoko Dance” that went viral on social media, it’s guaranteed to fire up any karaoke session.

Produced by Yuki Waga, the song reached No.

2 on Billboard JAPAN’s Download Songs weekly chart.

It’s sure to shine in karaoke not only for anime fans, but as a track everyone can enjoy singing and dancing to together.

[Fullmetal Alchemist] Opening 4 “Rewrite” 4K

This rock tune delivers a hopeful message centered on positive self-transformation.

It powerfully portrays the feelings of those wrestling with conflict and uncertainty, gently giving listeners a push forward.

Released as a single by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION in August 2004, it was also included on the album Sol-fa.

Chosen as the opening theme for Season 4 of the TV anime Fullmetal Alchemist, it earned high popularity among anime fans.

In 2024, it was also featured in promotional footage for the M-1 Grand Prix.

It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking to take a new step or to find their own path.

SPYAIR “Sakura Mitsutsuki (Short ver.)”

Let’s belt out this energetic rock number with power! It’s a song by SPYAIR, a rock band from Aichi Prefecture, released in 2013 as their 10th single.

It was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Gintama’.

Once you hear it, you’ll be blown away by its sense of speed and coolness.

The feverish chorus melody is striking, but the pitch is surprisingly low.

So if you manage your breathing well, you should be able to sing it through.

It’s the kind of anime song that really hypes up the crowd—definitely one you want to have in your repertoire!

Kokoro-e

Despite their short-lived activity, the band Road of Major made a splash in the rock scene.

They are known for their refreshing rock sound and have left behind many great songs.

Among them, Kokoroe is especially recommended as a high-energy anime song.

It was used as the opening theme for Major: 1st Season and continues to enjoy strong popularity among readers and viewers to this day.

While the vocal range spans from mid1 D to high C and is relatively wide, it doesn’t require delicate falsetto, so as long as you can belt, it’s by no means a difficult song.

[Official] Anime “Konjiki no Gash Bell!!” Opening Video: Hidenori Chiwata - “Kasabuta” / Zatch Bell!!

I think many people would cite this as an anime song that represents the Heisei era.

It’s “Kasabuta,” the first opening theme for Zatch Bell! (Konjiki no Gash Bell!!) which aired starting in 2003.

The moment you hear it, it’s instantly cool! The 2000s were especially full of rock-style anime songs, and this track is a standout rock tune from that movement.

With its fast tempo, it’s easy to sing, and if you perform it at karaoke, the mix of nostalgia will make it an absolute crowd-pleaser! Be sure to belt out the chorus, remembering those days, and sing your heart out!
